I'm uploading neko_autoconf-2.69_6.tardist to /incoming. It does include m4sugar/foreach.m4 (no Idea why that was missing, I seem to have neglected to rebuild the .tardist before uploading, my local .idb was already fixed), drops Struct.pm, which shouldn't have been in there in the first place, prop...

I hadn't thought the connectors were compatible with proper SCA - I thought they were inverted or something at minimum - but live and learn. Even so loose drives rattling around will work, but it's nice to use the sleds. You're going to be stuck with 10MBps SCSI either way. But if you secure the dr...

I don't mean to quibble, but what do you mean "address lines"? that is not part of the parallel scsi interface. edit: on a SCA connector there are 4 ID pins, but these are not bussed, they are part of enclosure services. You're of course correct, there's no such thing, I just misremembere...

The internal SCSI bus in an Indigo2 is of course an 8 bit bus, and therefore has termination for those 8 data lines and the 3 address lines that go along with it. At least some of the drives you linked to are 80 pin SCA, that implies a 16 bit wide data bus, with 4 adress lines. Those extra 8 data li...

@jan-jaap - I have had some HDDs fail to work in an Indigo2. I have two different models of 300GB SCA drives. One model works fine in my Indigo2, the other doesn't. Both work fine in my O2 however, so there is a compatibility issue there somewhere! Some of the newer LVDS drives just don't support s...
